Scientists at China’s EAST tokamak have achieved plasma densities beyond long-standing limits using plasma-wall self-organisation.

For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving ...

Research from EAST shows stable plasma operation beyond traditional density thresholds, paving the way for improved ...

Researchers using China’s “artificial sun” fusion reactor have broken through a long-standing density barrier in fusion plasma. The experiment confirmed that plasma can remain stable even at extreme ...
